i'm 5'5 but i can match with tall guys on average i play against people 6' and above. once i rejected a guy who was ova 6'6 .

but you hav to work on speed more acceleration though and when getting to the basket work on being able to move in the air twist turn all of that because that makes you unpredictable even once your in the air. by being able to move in the air you become more unpredictable and harder to guard. also work on your jump i can hang of the rim and i can tell you being able to out jump someone taller than you puts you closer to even terms.

also base strength is very important this way you can be better in defense against bigger players. also when driving don't try and knock through people but act more skilled and finesse and weave your way through the d.

dont forget vert a short guy who can jump is a must. an it can also make you stand out from other players because a 6'6 guy dunking isnt much but somone under 6' dunking that shows alot to selectors not to metion how much it helps in general play.

Speed is really important, im 5'10 but im skinny so speed is one of my main advantages - I can start quick, end quick and then theres natural athletic ability - I'd practice shooting in an arc more also
